Years of work bashed by a millenia of Propaganda

Intelligent Design doesn't belong in a classroom.

That's my opinion. Discrediting an established theory like evolution because there are "gaps" does not prove that Creationism is right. If that was true, then the sun would orbit the Earth, magnets would be a mystery, and we would all still be using DC to power our lights.

Complexity in life is not such a mystery either. A superbeing is not required to design complex beings, especially since we can look back through fossil records and see the iterative process that lead up to more and more complex beings. Intelligent humans didn't just suddenly "pop into existence." It was a step-by-step process. With every advancement and extinction to wrack this planet, the living beings living here have become more complex.

Also, "complexity" as we know it in organisms is little more than a close mesh of simplistic parts. A heart that beats, a brain that thinks. When there's a greater demand for intellect, a brain eventually appears with higher cognitive functions. Cause and effect.

That's awesome. Better than awesome. I'd say that's even ballsy.

Thanks apples!
